Response
Fly tipping volume and composition
1. We record the types and quantities of items uplifted but how disposed of isn t recorded. Fly tipped items would be disposed of in the appropriate manner, e.g. a fridge-freezer would go to white goods at Community Recycling Centre, etc. Some of the information you have requested cannot be provided because Scottish Borders Council does not hold it and therefore we give notice of under 10(4)(a) of EI(S)R 2004.
Data that informs fly tipping management
2. No.
3. Presence of fly tipping is recorded as part of LEAMS audits, however that is just a 5% sample of streets and is carried out 3 times per year. The data collected can be used for spatial analysis, identifying hotspots , trends, etc.
